NOTES AMONG THE MILLS.
Items of Interest Picked Up About h Cit

Items of Interest Picked Up About h City
and Vicinity.
The Laughlin mill is running full except
a few machines which are out of iron.
The Rtna Iron and Steel Works is run
ming to it's fullest capacity, as is also the
Standard mill at Bridgeport.
1t is understood that the Niles, O., mill
has shut down for the season, which will
bring a large number of Wheeling men
home.
The Riverside mill received eight car
loads of metal Tuesday evening, to be used
by the forge department, which will re-
sumo next week.
The Buckeye glass works at Martins
Ferry is on about full again after the sum-
mer stop. This place is turning ont some
exceptionally fine ware.
The window glass outlook is not encour-
aging. The strike is fairly on, and no
prospect of a settlement of the scale OF
wages. - Belldire Independent.
The rail factory of the Junction iron
works, idle for several weeks, Is still oil
on account Of the fact that the heaters
scale has never yet been signed.
The glass workers at Bridgeport have
formed q local union of their own. They
used to be members of Nos. 9 and Is, but
will be a body of themselves shortly.
The Riverside tube works find it entire
ly practicable to substitute Bessemer steel
for iron in pipe rolling, the result being
lighter and stronger pipe more suitable to
bending.
The Wheeling Paving Brick Company
will start up this week and run night and
day. This will be a good thing for Wheel
ing, and S%teubenville should have a like
industry. 1t would also be well enough for
an inventor to discover some substance
that will make a good and cheap surface
for the brick pavement to prevent the brick
from rounding on the upper edges--Ga-
zete.
In tableware glass the manufacturers,
despite the fact that the conference meet
ing Tuesday, adjourned without q salts
factory conclusion, feel that everything
will result all right. Several factories
have started and the rest are preparing TO
commence. The agreement is that all the
tableware glass concerns shall begin to
produce Immediately, and If the confer
ence finally is not satisfactory they will
shut down. In consequence Of this the
several factories which have started are
prepared to work until the conclusion OF
the difference.

thing tyCity Hall, Tuesday night, while
Ats Of Council were waiting for o
mem, the matter was brought up, when,
qHe surprise of some present, out oil
y a dozen members, every one IA
led the idea Of having the city
NV the property. The reasons urged
we're strong and practical, and the earnest
ness of those advancing views left no doubt
of the feeling on the subject. An average
of the sentiment expressed took about this
form:
The city to buy the property, and put
in a charge of a Board of three Commits
sioners, who would have the care and i'm
of the ground, subject to
Council. Once in the hands of the city, a
tract of five or eight acres on
the southern side Of the property, to
be set of for reunions, base ball,
and other public gatherings, the area so
designated to be held permanently for that
purpose, and for affairs where no fee Is
charged, like our late Reunion, to be free
from all rent Of any description from the
organizations using it. be the gathering the
of the Army of West Virginia, oil
any other body. When q fee for admis-
sion is charged, as for base ball, the city
10 receive q small rent to cover wear and
tear of the enclosures, buildings, &c.
The remainder Of the tract, which, If
EIGHT acres were set aside for the purposes,
sbove indicated, would be fifteen acres In
kxtent, to be held for park purposes, and "a
le gradually improved by q small annual
Appropriation. So fully was this discussed,
Id SO warmly was the plan advocated,
bat it was suggested that q public meeting
/ at once called at some central point to
uVe the matter upon Council, and every
OF present indicated q readiness to sign h
cd for such a gathering.
he arguments in favor Of the purchase
ar,many, not the least fo:cible being the
fal that if the Old Fair Ground is allowed
to PISS into private hands, the last oppor'
tuty of Wheeling to secure q park with
in te city limits vanishes. The question
is deussed everywhere upon the streets,
and ,ntiment seems practically a unit in
fayobf the scheme.

Martin Thornton's Phenomenal Success.
To-day opens the legitimate oyster sea-

the fourteenth anniversary of Mr.. Martin
Thornton's embarkation in the restaurant

ideaof the eternal fitness of things, Martin
last night fixed up q lot of Baltimore
selects in appetizing stews and frys and
invited the REGISTER force up to a layout
of a particularly gorgeous character. Mar
tin has had q most remarkable career dur
ing the fourteen years he has catered to
the public of Wheeling, and the large
measure of success which has attended him
has not been duplicated in the case of any
other restduratesr. He enters his fifteenth
year with confidence and the eongratula-
tions of his countless friends.

Recent Occurrence Here.

the Public Still Actively Discussing tine
Recent Occurrence Here.
The Wheeling public, like the people Of
the country at large, is still talking over
the Republican break in refusing to reeog-
nize the President of the United States
BY marching under the REGISTERS oig
banner, and all day yesterday one could
hear a wide range of comments, from grave
to gay. over the outrageous but YET
ridiculous position the Radicals had sue
oeeded in putting themselves in before the
world. The affair has become one oil
national importance, and exchanges coming
into the Office from Maine to Texas are
loaded down with exhaustive editorial
comments on the situation, and the bear
ing it will have upon politics and the
coming Presidential campaign. In fact,
while many of our people have exhausted
the question, and show a disposition to
turn their attention to other things, the
country at large seems just catching pn'
to the Importance of what took place, and
the editors are wearing ont their pencils
in LAYING the facts before their readers.
This is a pretty fair sample of what can
be heard about the streets and in business
and private life:
A non-partisan-What do you think Of
the banner matter?
Republican-Why it was a confoundedly
neat trap laid to catch us.
A N.-P.-And you got caught in the
trap, did you? .
Republiean-Well / should say we did.
AN.-P.-Why then, if you knew it was
a trap, did you allow yourselves to be
caught?

Hurt by a Runaway.

George He'll, of Bellaire, was driving his
meat wagon home from the East Wheeling
stock yards, Tuesday evening, when ]. R.
Butts team frightened and ran away. The
runaway came in contact with Heils
wagon, and demolished it in short order,
throwing George ~helplessly to the ground
and causing his horse to run away. 1t was
fortunate for Heil's horse that he did run
away, or be would have been seriously
hurt by the other wagon. George is bruised
and crippled up considerably, but while
he is quite sore, he is not seriously hurt
Butts sent Heil's wagon to the shop for
repairs, and did what he could to relieve
the distress and repair the damage caused
by his runaway.
